Re: The pot question (de-criminalization of marijuana).
To any normal person, "de-criminalization" makes perfect sense; meaning no criminal consequences for possession or cultivation.
If you understand the way marijuana was morphed into a demon plant, you'll know it had everything to do with two avaricious industrialists, Randolph Hearst and Dupont. Hemp was used for everything from writing paper to rope, and is one of the most versatile and renewable plants on earth.
Paper and bags were made of hemp which would have nullified the emerging oil and paper empires of the above mentioned. Dupont just developed plastic from oil and Hearst owned vast expanses of forest for pulp. Henry Ford's first Model T (H.F. had some of the largest hemp farms in the continental U.S.) ran on hemp oil. The anti-hemp law was passed via a quorum, when most house representatives were on holidays.
Plus how to tax something that grows more freely on earth as does a rose? "Heavily armed gangsters?" Odious political bedfellows; don't forget, the "gangsters" are as adamant to keep it illegal as are the tax demons.
Today's hemp rope, you guessed it, grown and imported from China.

ReplyDeleteYou make some great points! I had no idea that the T model ran off hemp.
ReplyDeleteWe were so happy to see the Farm Bill passed which now makes CBD completely legal.
